I
commented briefly on this great Hallowe’en tradition last year
(okay, so it’s only been around for a couple of years and is mostly
unknown, so it doesn’t really count as a tradition—yet), but
thought I should draw attention to it again, as Hallowe’en is
approaching once more. All Hallow’s Read is basically about giving
someone a scary book for Hallowe’en. As Neil Gaiman explains in the
introductory video, this isn’t meant to replace candy. It’s
simply giving somebody you know (or don’t know) a scary book, any
scary book (although it’s best to choose a book appropriate for the
person you’re giving it to). It’s just a little way to help
circulate more books in a day and age when the internet dominates our
entertainment.
